Description
In an increasingly digital world, access to information brings both opportunities and risks, particularly for older adults navigating misinformation, online deception, and fraudulent schemes. This book explores how trust, personal experiences, emotional responses, and digital literacy shape older adults’ encounters with misleading information and online scams.
Drawing on qualitative phenomenological research involving adults aged 45–65 in Cabuyao, Laguna, Philippines, the book examines how individuals recognize questionable information, evaluate credibility, respond to deceptive practices, and develop strategies to protect themselves from digital threats.
By integrating lived experiences with scholarly perspectives on misinformation, trust, and digital vulnerability, the book highlights the importance of critical thinking, digital awareness, and informed decision-making. It offers practical insights for educators, researchers, policymakers, and community leaders seeking to strengthen digital literacy, promote online safety, and empower older adults to navigate the digital environment with greater confidence and resilience.
